• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMFG_MM01025 - Item &1: Period of performance is out of range compared to the PO ?

  The SAP error message FMFG_MM01025 indicates that there is a mismatch between the period of performance defined for a specific item in a Purchase Order (PO) and the expected period based on the financial management (FM) settings. This typically occurs in the context of Funds Management (FM) in SAP, where the system checks whether the commitment or expenditure is within the allowed budgetary period.
  Cause:
  
  
  Period of Performance Mismatch: The item in the PO has a period of performance that is outside the allowed range defined in the system. This could be due to:
  
  The PO item being dated outside the fiscal year or budget period.
  The budget period for the funds management not being aligned with the PO's validity period.
  
  
  
  Budget Availability: The budget might not be available for the specified period, leading to the error when trying to post or process the transaction.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the Funds Management module that are not aligned with the Purchase Order settings.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the PO Dates: Review the dates on the Purchase Order item. Ensure that the start and end dates of the period of performance are within the valid fiscal year or budget period.
  
  
  Adjust the Period of Performance: If the period of performance is incorrect, you may need to adjust it to align with the budgetary periods. This can typically be done in the PO item details.
  
  
  Review Budget Settings: Check the budget settings in the Funds Management module to ensure that the budget is available for the period in question. If necessary, adjust the budget or the period of performance accordingly.
  
  
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to Funds Management and ensure they are correctly set up to handle the periods of performance for POs.
  
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like ME23N (Display Purchase Order) to check the PO details and FM settings, and FMAVCR01 to check budget availability.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Fiscal Year Variant: Ensure that the fiscal year variant is correctly set up in the system, as this can affect the periods of performance.
  Funds Management Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the configuration settings in the Funds Management module, particularly those related to budget control and commitment management.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on resolving it.
  
  If the problem continues after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with your SAP support team or consult SAP documentation for further troubleshooting.
